hearing music in my mind

[Cristiano]

I don't know if it is common or not but when I need to focus on something I  always start hearing songs in my head. Most of the times when it happens I have to stop what I am doing to try to clear my mind. That also happens when I am going to sleep. I noticed that I alwasy listen to these songs in the same week that they start to play in my head. I think that the solution would be to stop listening to music, but I love it. 


Does anyone have this problem? how are you dealing with that?

It's really annoying when I can only remember one part of a song so that part just loops through my head over and over again. Does that happen to any of you?

Music also plays a huge role in my issues :(

I'm not strong enough to stop listening to it.

But my problem is different as I prefer to day dream with songs of my choice.

Every song has a specific day dream :O

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS.  I always think my auditory memory is insane because the music is as if I were listening to it, from the lyrics to every little sound in the background.  

I find it's LESS annoying when I stop actually listening to music-- it becomes more like a 'treat' versus "oh god please I need a rest."  So I limit myself to one day a week directly listening to music of my choice.  I have no idea how to 'make it stop' as it seems just like a part of my brain that works itself to death and sometimes it helps preoccupy my thoughts, other times it just feeds daydreaming. :/
